To a Brand New Year
No matter what you’re doing Old Year’s Night, I want to wish you all the best for 2010 and beyond. If 2009, sucked obviously 2010 will rock.
As you well know, next year I plan to come firey, so consider yourself warned. Whatever your plans are, here’s hoping they work out for the best.

Do You Hear What I Hear
This one of my favourite Christmas songs. O Holy Night is my all time favourite, but Whitney Houston’s version of this song has rocketed to 2nd place in my heart. If I listen to it intently I will cry.
So in the spirit of the season, I found this video of her performing it on Jay Leno. Enjoy.
Merry Christmas
Life in London
I’ve been in this country since the 9th of October, so I’ve already completed one month and I can’t complain one bit.
School has been hectic, but not hard, and so far I haven’t been wasting my mother’s money. In fact if you’d looked at this morning’s tweets you’ll already know that I got a merit (just under distinction) for my first essay. I’m quite proud of myself. The plan now is to keep up the high standard.
As for my blogging, well my camera is playing the ass and I am still unemployed. Working on both of those senarios at the moment, I’m job hunting like crazy, and when I get a job then I can buy a new camera.
My laptop, a story I’d rather not rehash (check my tweets;synopsis: Amazon UK sucks), I’ll be getting from Dell next week. Then I’ll apply for internet with Virgin Media. But the library has been saving my ass with connecting to the fam and keeping up with research.
Anyways, I’ve got to go.
Internet Lackary
I don’t know how the gossip mags are making out in these times with the stiff competition they’re getting from the blogs. I for one not spending a cent on the slackness when I can get it for free online. It’s no secret that print is suffering, while I’ll still buy fashion magazine (despite my reservations about them) gossip mags just can’t get any play from me.
Why? Let me list my reasons for you:
Songs About Guys Who Are Sprung
I really love Drake‘s song – You’re the Best. It’s nice to hear a rap song about fidelity and commitment, however it’s couched. I then because men aren’t really encouraged to show emotion, and according to the media, they’re supposed to treat romantic entanglements as a search for more sex. When an artist goes against the grain, or laughs at the status-quo, the result is often, funny, catchy and relatable.
Soca Awards
The International Soca Awards will take place on the island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos on October 30th. The awards were started in 2003 by Colin Jackman as a way to recognise the work of our hard-working soca artists.
Well the list of nominees is out: http://bit.ly/EakCc To be eligible your song should have been released between June 1st 2008 to May 31st 2009.
I wasn’t too pleased with some of the selections, but that’s always the case with me and awards. Some of the usual suspects were there, and some weren’t.
So in a moment of idleness I decided to put up my picks for who should win. In other words here’s the list of my favourites in each category:
Flying High
I in MIA for a bit visiting my mother before I fly off AGAIN for school in LON. I hate flying, but I know my fear isn’t rational. Plus I love traveling, so I fight through it.
I had my camera with me in flight so I decided to take some pics to share with you.
My fear isn’t paralysing, thank God, but it makes the process all the more stressful. Hope you like the pics.
My Paper Anniversary of Blogging
I’ve just completed one year as a blogger. My first blog was called GoodFaith, but I couldn’t keep up with 2 blogs, so I cancelled it and moved those posts here.
Strange Things
Something strange was going on with my blog. Did some housecleaning. Hopefully things are back to normal.
No Licks!
Watched the Tyra show this evening, and she was talking to former Top Model contestants about their experiences with abuse. It made me think.
